"Which witch are you talking about?"
The Curse Spirits were embarrassed. They forgot that she didn’t know which witch they meant.
"It’s the witch who was injured by your friend last time," one of them replied.
Shenlian Yingyue looked doubtful and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes widened. The witch that had been hurt by Huang Bai Xing in the last battle was the one who betrayed the Wu clan?
"Let me ask you something. What ability does that witch have?" she asked urgently.
"That witch has the power to transform someone’s gender through a curse," they replied, despite their confusion.
Shenlian Yingyue’s expression changed.
"That witch is gone?" A slightly cold voice that sent shivers down people’s spines echoed. Huang Bai Xing’s face was extremely grim. If her sharp gaze could kill, her enemy would have been killed countless times by her.
She was extremely angry right now. She should have killed that witch (Ch. 694).
Shenlian Yingyue knew that someone was secretly following her and Dongfang Moqing. However, since this person felt familiar to her, she didn’t mind being followed. She wanted to see who this person was, and it turned out to be Huang Bai Xing, who wore an exquisite and mysterious white mask.
The Curse Spirits trembled at her murderous aura. Who was this person?
"Where is the Demon King?" Shenlian Yingyue asked faintly.
"Do you really want to find the Demon King?" they asked, frightened by her determination. Was she thinking of fighting that powerful demon?
"Didn’t you tell me that you cannot leave this Curse Land? How could the green smoke be taken outside?" This puzzled her.
"We don’t know what method the Demon King used. She just forcibly took the green smoke away," they said sadly.
"Are you all hurt?" she asked, feeling an inexplicable need to know.
They were stunned. For the very first time in their lives, someone had asked if they were hurt. It left them speechless and momentarily forgot to reply.
"Don’t worry; I’ll bring the green smoke back to you," she said before leaving without waiting for their response.
"You’re really full of compassion. Are you a reincarnation of a saint?" Dongfang Moqing expressed his surprise that she cared about the well-being of these spirits whom people feared and despised.
"Do I look like a saint?" Shenlian Yingyue replied, feeling speechless.
"Are you a devotee of Buddha?" he asked.
"Do I look like one?" She was again left speechless by him.
Huang Bai Xing’s lips twitched.
Throughout the entire history, from the ancient era until now, demons have hated the Mortal Realm. Except for the Demon Realm, they disdain stepping foot into this land of humans, let alone staying here.
"Should we split up?" Dongfang Moqing asked. Since they wanted to investigate something, they needed to go their separate ways.
"Yes," Huang Bai Xing nodded.
"Be careful, everyone," said Shenlian Yingyue.
Now that she was alone, she could let Xiao Yun and the others out of the Ethereal Small World.
"Yay!! Treasure hunting time!!" All of them were excited to rob treasures in the demon’s territory.
Shenlian Yingyue didn’t stop them. As usual, she warned them to take good care of themselves.
At first, they were not interested in treasures, but in hunting the Demon King and paving the way for her secretly. However, since Shenlian Sheshan stopped them from doing so, they had to consider her future. They couldn’t ruin her future with their impulsiveness. With nothing else to do, it was better to defeat some demons to gain more experience and rob treasures from them.
Shenlian Yingyue stood at the grand and imposing city gate, built from heavy stones, as she looked around. She couldn’t release her divine sense, or it would alert the demons. The reason the demons hadn’t detected her presence so far was that she wore a Divine Artifact that blended her aura with that of the demons.
Last time, Diyu gave her this item when he brought her into the Underworld Realm. He feared that the monsters there would attack her when he wasn’t around, so he gave her this black jade ring. When demons sensed her aura, at most, they thought she was a monster.
Perhaps the demons didn’t believe any living creatures would dare stand boldly at the city gate or breach a city full of demons; thus, they didn’t leave any demon soldiers to patrol the city gate or the entrance.
